FAQPage Schema
How do I generate XML doc comments from my .NET source code?▼

To generate XML doc comments from .NET source code, you can use the `dotnet:document` command targeting specific files or directories to automatically derive documentation directly from your codebase.

Can I automatically create an OpenAPI description from code annotations?▼

Yes, you can automatically create OpenAPI descriptions from code annotations by running the documentation generation command, which ensures your API specifications stay synchronized with the source code.

What is the best way to keep README files synchronized with a .NET codebase?▼

The best way to keep README files synchronized with a .NET codebase is using a documentation generation tool that treats code as the source of truth, automatically updating README sections based on code changes.

Does this documentation generation approach work for architecture documents too?▼

Yes, this documentation generation approach works for architecture documents too, automatically extracting structural information from your codebase to maintain consistent and accurate architectural overviews.

How do I update existing documentation when my .NET code changes?▼

You update existing documentation when your .NET code changes by re-running the `dotnet:document` command, which regenerates and updates XML doc comments, READMEs, and OpenAPI descriptions based on the latest source code.
